I’ve been patrolling this neighborhood every morning for five years now, and I thought for certain that I’ve seen everything. Yet this morning I was reminded the world is still full of surprises! Our walk started out natural enough. Perhaps a bit too natural for some people’s sensibilities. I pooped. Since we only made it […]
While supervising Mom doing the laundry, I couldn’t help but notice that every item of clothing with a pocket held poop bags. Obviously I did a really good job training Mom and Dad to be prepared. I wonder though if they appreciate the many times when having poop bags in their pockets came in handy […]
I can’t believe I let my guard down. Worst yet, I let my neighborhood down! Last year on a beautiful sunny day, similar to today, the unthinkable happened. My local Department of Public Works took away the sticks and branches that had fallen over the winter and lined my road. I was furious. How could […]
I watched a TV show today about the trend in environmentally friendly Tiny Houses. Who knew I was a trend setter?! I’ve been helping to build Tiny Houses for years!

My parents clearly don’t enjoy the simple pleasures in life. Each week they grumble about Garbage Day. But for me that’s the best day of the week! The festivities begin with Mom making a trash bag piñata using the kitchen garbage. Asa and I fill with anticipation as she lifts that wonderful smelling bag out […]
Nooooo!!! The most horrific event happened in my neighborhood this morning! Our town’s Department of Public Works took away my branches! I was helpless to intervene while the maintenance workers slowly moved along our street inserting the fallen branches into their wood chipper. If only I had thumbs so I could open the door to […]
It is time Asa earns his keep in this family and supports our community by joining me on my daily neighborhood patrols. Oh sure it may seem like a leisurely walk for Mom and Dad, but for me this is serious work. Thanks to our long daily walks twice a day, I have become a […]
